For this guide, you will need the Windows Power shell. I've not had the chance to test this on Windows 7, but perhaps these instructions might work there.

I would like to share with you a vulnerability in the Bitcoin protocol I've been thinking of which might have impact on the future of Bitcoin. Please criticize it!
The freeze problem occurs if someone publishes a transaction with fees much higher than the block subsidy. I don’t remember who described the attack first. Suppose that, by mistake, a transaction is published with 50 BTC in fees. The transaction is included in a block at height n. If everyone acts rationally in his own interest, then the best choice for the remaining miners is to try to mine a competing block at the same height n including the high-fee transaction, to collect the fee for themselves. All the miners having solved the block at height n, now move on mining at height (n+1). But they won’t choose each other branches until one branch is sufficiently longer so that it is better to switch to it and aband
add this somewhere on your .bash_profile (or .bashrc if on ubuntu) and make sure to adjust the PARENT_DIR variable to your local environment.
function fwpull {
PARENT_DIR=~/workspace.frostwire
for f in $PARENT_DIR/frostwire-common $PARENT_DIR/frostwire-jlibtorrent $PARENT_DIR/frostwire-desktop $PARENT_DIR/frostwire-android; do
if [ -d "$f" ]; then
pushd $f
git pull
So, I understand my fellow venezuelans are in NYC, and they're using a new opensource exchange software that seems to be written in Python and still in its infancy called BlinkTrade (just 5 committers, written in Python)
Hopefully with the low transactional volumes they have they won't have to start the rewrite anytime soon. Writing a true exchange requires in my opinion technology that allows for low latency transactions (Java/C++/specialized hardware to process a large amount of orders per second reliably, and that's just the tech side)
So let's suppose they get the capital to have the tech side solved, this part is doable, and I hope they can do it, for Venezuelans actually need this. The huge problem I see, and why I didn't even think of starting an exchange in Venezuela is the part of where you hold the Venezuelan FIAT.
The Venezuelan government is extremely controlling of anything related to money supply. I think in a way they'll both hurt and help Bitcoin in
generate N random wallets private keys and deposit 1 colored satoshi into each wallet.
Print the wallets. Put each wallet in a certified and sealed envelopes.
Have voters come to vote registration place, once identity is verified and that the voter hasn't come already to pick his wallet, voter gets to pick wallet out of a huge pile, thus hiding the identity of the voter. Voter ID number is registered into system so that it can't pick another envelope later. Finger gets marked with very hard to delete ink as extra measure of security.
Voter sends colored satoshi to candidate of preference by using voting machine high level interface (you pick candidate, then it asks you to present private key of wallet to send bitcoin), voting machine never asks for identity of voter. Voter never knows address to where colored satoshi was sent. this way the election cannot be monitored in real time by the media, as partial results might affect the election outcome.

Download the latest boost library (this works for Boost 1.56)
If you look at build/build_macosx.sh in frostwire-jlibtorrent, you will see a few lines commented.
They are steps that should be taken only once, we're taking those now.
Set the following environment variables.
$BOOST_ROOT <- The source folder from the boost libraries you downloaded.
